Which event on December 7, 1941, is described as 'a day that will live in infamy'?

• A. Pearl Harbor attack
• B. D-Day invasion
• C. Battle of Midway
• D. Bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1940

Answer: (A)

The famous line refers to the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii by Japan on December 7, 1941. That day was described as a day that will live in infamy because it stunned the nation and compelled the United States to enter World War II. This attack targeted ships and aircraft at Pearl Harbor, causing heavy damage and loss of life, and it shifted the course of history by bringing the U.S. into the broader conflict in the Pacific. The other events listed happened at different times: the D-Day invasion occurred in June 1944 in Normandy; the Battle of Midway happened in June 1942 in the Pacific; and the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1940 is incorrect for the date specified.
